Thomas Plarail Original Engines

B'Station Official

Hi there, I am a collector of TOMY / TrackMaster Thomas & Friends content. I was wondering if anyone has any of the original Plarail engines from Thomas and Friends made from 1992-2002? I have seven characters still new and sealed, what would you say would be their value?

I know right!?...yesterday an item for $245 USD would have only cost $211.39...now $245 USD equals $244.67!!...that's $16.50 per every hundred dollars!!! Starts adding up for large buys very quickly:/

Yes, he did have Lady too! Thank you very much! 😃 And yes the shipping was around $60 as it was combined! Do you have any of the original Plarail engines? 😉

You got an amazing deal on them!! They are beautiful. Take great care of them... If you have to open them to play with them, be sure to keep their boxes pristine with all the bags and foam pieces. Keep them dry and out of the sun. They will go up in value every year, and the longer you keep them bnib, the more they will be worth in the future!! They are collectors items now, not really play toys at this point(21 years old), so treat them well!!🙂
Also, Yes we do have a few ourselves...😉

Thank you very much for your reply! I will not open them; hopefuly one day they will be worth each the value of an Alfie or Monty ($450)! I will take your advice into account, thank you. 🙂

That's awesome! Well done too! 😃
